Re: Monthly Parking Rates 


Classic Parking still intends to receive payment for all months 
parked. May we meet about this on Monday, or when is the best day/time?

Thanks for sharing, Lito. 


The BID is not responsible for invoices that were never delivered, 
and we cannot back-pay $23k. We are a non-profit organization that operates on annual 
budgets and we just went through our renewal with the City which means we started this 
year with new operations, bank accounts, etc. 


That said, we can pay 6 months of parking for 5 vehicles, and will 
honor complete invoices from this moment forward. 


Please provide adjusted invoices at your earliest convenience. 


Best, 


Ellen

You mentioned that Lito has prepared 2 invoices, one for previous

Hi Ellen, 


So the attached invoice is also for validations. 


The monthly parking had not been invoiced previously, so we 
bundled the previous months, and also May and June 2018.

Hi Tiffany, 


I had a chance to discuss this with my accountant and Board 
Treasurer. Looking back through our records, we received our first invoice from Classic on 
7/31/16 (attached) which included charges from 4/18/16 through July 2016. From then on, 
we've received monthly invoices, but only for validated tickets. We've never received any 
invoices for the monthly spaces - can you please confirm where these invoices were being 
sent? Can you also please provide copies of all the invoices? 


Thanks, 


Ellen

Ok Ellen, understood. 


I hope the treasurer will be available early next week, as we are 

approaching June. 


Lito has prepared 2 invoices, 1 for previous months parked and 1 

for May and June 2018.

Hi Tiffany, 


My board treasurer is on vacation and I won't have a chance to

Hi Lulu, it was a pleasure meeting with you today 
and we appreciate you diving right in to assist in getting South Park's monthly parking up 
to date. 


Per our discussion, the original monthly fee 

agreed upon by South Park and Classic Parking was $200 per vehicle and $250 per overnight 
truck. 


Since our discussion, Classic has decided to lower 
the monthly parking fees by $50 per vehicle and $50 per overnight truck from January 2016 
thru May 2018. 


We have also decided to make every vehicle 
(including the 2 overnight trucks) $200 per month beginning June 2018.

$450 X 27 Months = $12,150

Monthly Parking June 2018 
4 Vehicle(s) @ $200 = $800 

2 Overnight @ $200 = $400 

TOTAL $ 1,200 

Invoices will be provided based on these amounts. 
We will need a cancelled check to get your account 

We bill 1 month in advance, so all invoices will 


As discussed earlier today, we are willing to take 
installments on the previous months owed if necessary, however, we are also under the 
assumption that South Park budgeted for their parking expense, in which we are hoping to 
collect the full amount as soon as possible.
